This year, I will be participating in Indiana University Dance Marathon as the vice president of internal. This will be my 8th and final dance marathon benefitting Riley Hospital for Children. I personally am hoping to raise over $5,000 for the sick kids at Riley this year. I am also very passionate about this cause due to my personal history with Riley. When I was two years old I became very ill. Various doctors were having a difficult time figuring out was causing me to be so sick and I was finally sent to Riley. They diagnosed me with type 1 Diabetes upon finding that my blood sugar was well above 1,000. They acted very quickly and just narrowly saved me from slipping into a coma. I very well could have died had I slipped into a coma. I owe my life to Riley and I believe that my purpose in life is to give back to this hospital and save as many lives as I can. There's a saying that goes college is supposed to be the 4 most selfish years of your life, but I wholeheartedly believe that these will be the 4 most selfless years of my life because of IUDM. It would mean a lot to me personally if you clicked the donate now button and helped support me in this cause!
